I think I ran into this guy on freenode, he was hanging out in #windows and kept talking about "bringing back the year of linux". Linux is ready for prime time, and is getting better every year. Microsoft is struggling to maintain it's market share of the OS market which it used to dominate without any trouble, so the article is nonsense, really. Windows is not more user friendly than a modern Ubuntu or Debian installation. What's actually happened is that users have become familiar with the various Quirks of operating Windows, the same way they would become familiar with any OS after years of use, including Linux.
